Conference Schedule

[ Yes, this photo is of our venue, Paradise Point Resort! ]

This conference schedule is here for you to plan your time in San Diego. There will be a couple of days where there is a relatively brief break for lunch before the bus or trolley takes off. Please plan ahead and be aware that the on-site cafes are not short-order. Consider take-away. The final schedule will be published in your Conference Program, which you receive at conference check-in.
